General Index
An attempt has been made to index all persons, corporate bodies, places and
subjects mentioned in the text of the Guide. While the index is therefore
comprehensive (if not exhaustive) in this respect, researchers are advised that this
is not an index to the entire holdings of the Library. Absence from the index does
not necessarily imply that a person, place or subject is not represented in the
Library's holdings.
Personal, corporate and place names have been constructed in accordance with
the National Council on Archives Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and
Corporate Names (1997). Dates of birth and death and additional qualifiers are
largely derived from the Dictionary of National Biography, as well as Who's Who,
Who Was Who, and other standard reference sources. Sovereigns and members
of royal families are indexed under their forenames. Titled persons are indexed
under their family name, with a cross reference from the title. Popes are indexed
under their papal names. Compound surnames, whether hyphenated or not, are
indexed under their final elements. This accords with the practice adopted in the
New Dictionary of National Biography, and in the NCA Rules.
Ordnance Survey National Grid references are given for places within the
United Kingdom. Specific places overseas are identified by co-ordinates of
latitude and longitude, to the nearest five minutes. The forms of place-names
which were contemporary with the original sources have generally been preferred
to present-day forms; thus Southern Rhodesia, not Zimbabwe.
Library of Congress Subject Headings, 21st edition (1998), has been used as the
basis for the construction of subject index entries, with modifications to take
account of local conditions and the primary nature of the materials. Cross
references are used extensively to guide the reader from general terms to the more
specific, and to navigate between related subjects.
Word-order alphabetization has been used, in this order of predecence:
commas, spaces, hyphens, alphanumeric characters. The prefixes Sir, Dame etc.
have been ignored in alphabetizing personal names. Thus the order of entries will
be: Black, Joseph; Black Papers; Black-letter, Blackburn.
